Solace is an open sourced knowledge exchange platform similar to Quora. Written in Python with extensibility in mind, Solace builds upon the work of several existing collaboratively edited knowledge exchange and support services. Solace incorporates existing elements such as up/down voting, topic trending/relevancy algorithms, a progressive reputation and reward system, tiered permission levels, user moderation, and wiki like editing to create a powerful self-sustaining platform that stays relevant and ensures users easily find what they are looking for.
